As more runners head back outside, it is important to remember that outdoor miles can feel different than treadmill miles. Uneven terrain, hills, and harder surfaces can place new demands on your body.
Build mileage gradually, rotate your running shoes as needed, and pay attention to how your body responds. Persistent soreness or recurring pain is worth addressing early.
A thoughtful return to outdoor running can help you stay consistent and injury free this season.
